    Personally, I'd just ask them. Something like "Mom, Dad, I'm x years old now. I really deserve some privacy at this point. I realize you're concerned about me, but I can handle myself."

    If they trust you to walk down the street by yourself, they should trust you to use the Internet by yourself.

    Oops.

    I saw 22 posts, and thought it meant 22 years of age.

    I'm guessing your a teenager.

    In which case, you're going to have to obey your parents rules. You can speak to your dad about the need for privacy, this is a good idea. Hopefully he'll understand.

    However, let me be blunt - you don't need porn for masturbation. When I was growing up, you know what I used? The men's underwear section from the JCPenny Catalog. Yep. There is inspiration out there for you. You've just got to find it.

    if it's about porn, I agree with Aldrick. If it's more about posting here, or elsewhere, or just generally surfing the Net without them trying to read everything on your screen, you could try using a public library computer, a school computer or a friend's computer.
